 Hi guys, and welcome back to this video! So today I want to talk a little bit about leveraging what I know. You're like, what does that even mean? As most of you know, I'm a sponsored flex pass student at Capella University, and I am dropping up my master's degree in nursing education, which is just... It's crazy! It's so crazy! But I get a lot of people that ask me, like, is getting your masters more difficult than getting your bachelors and vice versa? And this is obviously a personal question. Everyone is going to be a little bit different, but for me, getting my master's has been easier than I expected because I already can apply so much information and knowledge that I have from being a nurse and my bachelor's degree towards my master's. For example, a couple different things. I already knew APA format, so when I write papers, I'm like, psh, I got this APA. No problem. When I'm in a class and there's an assignment that pertains to something that I can apply from my nursing experience, it makes it that much easier when you have this prior knowledge. You're able to leverage what you already know into your master's degree. I had a class that I just wrapped up that the assignment was about find a problematic area in the healthcare world and what can we do about it? How are we going to change it? What education do people need to make this change? How are you going to evaluate it? So it's very easy for me to be like, done. One problem in the nursing world, we get central line infections. Another problem in the nursing world, staffing. Another problem in the nursing world, catheter associated UTIs. We hear all these things every single day and we're at work. Just listen in your huddle at work. They'll tell you five things that we need to make changes on. So now I'm in my program and I actually get to think of these changes and how I'm going to implement it. I'm able to leverage my knowledge and apply that information and it saves me time in some of my classes when I have this personal experience. So I'd like to hear from you guys. Is there something in nursing school or for your bachelor's degree or from your master's degree or doctor's degree that you have been able to pull from a prior experience and how are you able to apply that to your current program? Let me know in the comments below. Thank you guys for watching this video and I'll see you in my next one. Bye.
